Mission - LIMBUA Foundation

Promotion of sustainable rural development and food self-sufficiency through research and education. This includes:

Ecological sustainability by:
organic farming, food production, maintaining and improving soil fertility, nutrient cycling, erosion control, carbon sequestration, mitigation of droughts, and increasing biological diversity
Economic viability by:
creating income, generating wealth at the local level, providing access to knowledge and to markets, product diversification, and reduction of risks
Social acceptance by:
creating jobs, reducing poverty, providing food security, capacity building in farming, rural development, educating young entrepreneurs and scientists, and maintaining cultural values

In order to achieve this aim and mission, the LIMBUA Foundation is initiating and coordinating research around agro-ecology and disseminating the generated knowledge through diverse educational activities at all levels including school children, farmers, scientists and policy makers and other stakeholders.
